Opinions please…

I am physically disabled and use a mouth control and voice attack to play Eve.

I lost an Astero about a week ago which had a rather expensive armour repairer on board. I was in the middle of a relic hack in a 0.2 system and I didn’t realise I was being attacked until half my shield was gone. Even though I am a very old character PVP is something I have shied away from. I got myself into a bit of a mess know what to do first whether to try and warp away, trying attack back or whatever, needless to say I did everything wrong!

After this I looked back at the Astero fittings I was considering but they all needed Micro managing with cap and armour so I have put almost all my money into an buffer tank stratios. I did this because I felt the frigates are to fragile and want something a bit beefier. My setup has got 63K EHP and will have a armour repairer in the cargo hold. I prefer buffer tank because it’s one less thing to worry about so can just get on with killing whoever it is attacking me.

I need opinions on my setup and whether and active fitting would be better. I want to do wormholes exploration and low-level combat sites. Obviously I will have a mobile depot in my cargo hold along with a armour repairer and travel fit.

I have got all my skills up to level 4 and 5.

My stratios fit is:
Highs
Covert Ops II
probe launcher I
x2 med Energy neutraliser II
drone link augmentor II

Meds
10 MN afterburner II
relic analyser II
data analyser II
stasis web II
rangefinder array I


Lows
Imperial Navy 1600 mm plate
Imperial Navy 400 mm plate
X2 adaptive nano II
damage control II

Riggs
X3 Trimark pump II

Drones will be all t2

Thanks

That wasn't wise move! If you are ganked again in Stratios you will lose all your in-game money and assets. Sell Stratios, buy some cheap T1/T2 exploration frigate instead and try to earn some ISK in much more cost-effective way. Next think about strategic cruiser and null-sec combat exploration.

I second this ^

A tech 2 fitted covert ops frigate travels fast and safely, scans and hacks/analyses very well, and will hurt much less if it dies. Think warp core stabilizers and agility mods.
